French is taught throughout Key Stage Two to all children on a weekly basis. We use a locally agreed progression document to ensure we lead a progressive curriculum upon prior learning and knowledge. We use a range of teaching methods to ensure children are engaged and confident including video tutorials from native speaking teachers.
At Hodnet Primary School, we believe that languages are for life. Languages are part of the cultural richness of our society and the world in which we live and work and therefore the study of a language is an important part of our pupils’ education. Learning French contributes to mutual understanding, a sense of global citizenship and personal fulfilment. Pupils learn to appreciate different countries, cultures, communities, and people. The ability to understand and communicate in another language is a lifelong skill for education, employment and leisure in this country and throughout the world.
